Re: Which 70-200mm

Since (from reviews on many independent websites) all four versions of the Canon 70-200mm are of almost equal (very good) optical IQ, be it F2.8 or F4, having IS is a bonus. A good bonus to have. It's there when you need it. Just don't activate it when mounted on a solid support.

I would advise before you buy it, go rent and see the IS version is of any help.

As for taking photo in low light, I believe f2.8 come in more handy then the IS, it is good to have a tripod or a monopod, if you don't mind to carry it, there isn't a need to buy the more ex. IS lens.

But this bonus is depending on how deep is your pocket, since TS is only considering either F4 Is or F2.8 non IS, and there is chance for him to take in low light. I will rather forget about the IS and get F2.8 non-IS + a monopod.

6338 5905 / 6338 7466 (taken from TK facebook page), and as suggested by Irvine, you can request for quote from their facebook site too, but I have some experience with them and they are not very fast or frequent replier.

My experience is that they have never answered any of my quotes on FB before.

It wasn't a one time thing but at least 5 times over different periods. Not sure how are they selecting the people to answer.
